March – April 2026
We share everything you need to keep on top of current and upcoming changes to payroll legislation.
With the new tax year right around the corner, this edition focuses on the payroll changes taking effect from April and the key deadlines you should have firmly on your radar.
In your Legislation Book, we highlight the reforms to Statutory Sick Pay coming into force this April, including the removal of the Lower Earnings Limit and the end of waiting days.
We also cover the introduction of Student Loan Plan 5, the approaching registration deadline for payrolling benefits in kind, and the extension of National Insurance relief for employers hiring veterans.
In Payroll Unpacked, we take a closer look at year end. From confirming your final RTI submissions to issuing P60s, we unpack what payroll teams should be doing now to close the tax year smoothly and start the next one on the right foot.
And finally, in Payroll Supplies, you’ll find the latest confirmed statutory rates and thresholds for the 2026 – 27 tax year, alongside the practical resources you need to keep payroll running compliantly in the months ahead.
We tackle the trickiest areas of payroll, taking on a heavy-duty topic in each edition and breaking it down step by step.
